When the sun goes down, the trail comes alive.
Welcome to the Night Serpent 5K, a nighttime trail race unlike anything else on your race calendar. Held on private property in Eads, TN, runners will take on a dark, wooded trail filled with twists, turns, shadows—and a few things waiting for you along the way.
This isn’t just a 5K in the dark. It’s a full haunted trail-running experience.
6:00 PM — The Serpent Sleeps 5k Our earlier race offers the excitement of the Night Serpent with a less intense, haunted experience. Runners 10 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Our haunted creatures will be positioned throughout the course, but they'll remain still as runners pass.
8:00 PM — The Serpent Awakens 5k When darkness takes over, so do the trails.
The 8:00 PM race is reserved for ages 16+ and delivers the full Night Serpent experience. Our haunted creatures won't just be hiding in the woods anymore—they'll come alive.
Expect darkness. Expect surprises. Expect your heart rate to climb for reasons that have nothing to do with your pace.
No haunted creature will intentionally touch a runner, but we can't promise they won't make you run a little faster.
Bring a headlamp, bring your courage, and come experience 3.1 miles after dark.
Two races. One haunted trail. One unforgettable night.
